Paralia Garifalos is a small, pebbly beach located near the old port of Spetses. The beach is easily accessible by foot, with a short 5-minute walk from the uphill of Guzel, turning right at the first alley. The beach is known for its tranquility, clear waters, and the stunning view of the island of Spetsopoula opposite.
The beach is characterized by its natural beauty, with deep, welcoming waters that allow for swimming all the way out to the blue church on the other side. The beach also features rocks that are suitable for climbing. The beach is particularly beautiful at night, offering a peaceful atmosphere.
Despite its natural beauty, the beach does not offer amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, or loungers. Visitors are advised to wear protective swimming shoes due to the pebbly nature of the beach. The beach is east-facing, making it an ideal spot to catch the morning sun. However, it can get crowded easily, so it is recommended to visit in the morning. In the afternoon, the rocks above provide a good amount of shade.
